What you can expect

Learn the art of making soba noodles from a master. While soba is a simple dish by itself, making the noodles from scratch is a challenge that combines culinary art with precision knife handling and a dash of Japanese discipline.

Discover the secrets of real wasabi. The real taste of wasabi is not what you find in plastic tubes. Yes, the flavour of real wasabi is just as spicy, but much fresher and more nuanced than the store-bought kind.

For a moment, you will step into the shoes of an apprentice Soba chef under the watchful eye of an experienced Soba master as he guides you through all the basic steps and the proper use of authentic Soba-making tools. It is 100% hands-on from start to finish, including getting to eat our own Soba noodle creation at the end!

Grate over Soba and try for yourself some real, fresh wasabi straight from the surrounding wasabi farms. If you've never had natural fresh-ground wasabi before, you’re in for a surprisingly refreshing treat!
